Furman, 36, met 18-year-old Price in 1998 and claimed she was "sweet and loving" until her first breast enlargement. He says she would tell him: "It's not my fault every bloke wants to sh*g me." During rows, he claims Price would say: "You're just a washed-up old Gladiator. I'm more famous than you."

He claimed she pored over the papers every day looking for the smallest mention. Furman, now a married father-of-two, added: "As with Pete, every bit of our relationship was up for sale."

The claims follow last week's pictures of Price in a Bristol nightclub with a string of men, following a horseriding event. Furman claims she used her interest in equestrianism as a cover to meet men.

Price and Andre are holidaying separately before flying back for crisis talks on Thursday, say reports.

But Andre told Price the meeting is only to discuss care for their children, Princess, one, and Junior, three.

Meanwhile, Price faces an investigation in the Maldives for flouting strict Muslim laws by sunbathing topless.
